Intel Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module SBCEGBESW

Intel Blade Server Ethernet Switch Module SBCEGBESW ... Ethernet switches (the Intel Server Switch Module). By integrating Ethernet switches into the blade chassis, Intel dramatically reduces cabling and the management and service workload in large data centers. Ethernet switch management becomes part of basic server operations. Simply log into a single management console - through the Intel Blade Server Management Module - to manage both Ethernet switches. Eliminate the jumble of cables that comes with conventional switches.

The 4-port Intel Blade Server Switch Module provides high-speed Ethernet connections between each of the 14 blade servers and the outside network environment. The first switch module connects to the first Ethernet on each blade server in the chassis. To double the bandwidth, install a second Intel Blade Server Switch Module; this connects to the second Ethernet adapter on each blade server.

Two Gb Ethernet switches can be used to add more network bandwidth or to create a dedicated LAN for backup, systems management, or many other applications. You might designate one LAN for production traffic and the second for backup. With both switches installed, the Intel Blade Server Chassis SBCE provides 8 GB of Ethernet uplinks.
